Having mine done on Jan 19th. Medicare + my military retirement insurance is paying for the entire surgery. You can go to Google, put in penile implant and you should see that they pay for it. Lost my prostate close to 20 years ago.

I had a colorplast titan installed 13 months ago. Medicare is my primary insurer and lineco my secondary. My total out of pocket expense was just under $500
Medicare does pay for it.
Unless the policy has been changed.
